Lewis Henry Morgan Chapter

The primary mission of the Lewis H. Morgan Chapter is to advance archaeological and historical research pertaining to the artifacts, customs, beliefs, and various facets of the lives and cultures of earlier inhabitants of New York State. We are dedicated to the preservation of archaeological sites, working closely with the NYSAA and other archaeological institutions to achieve this goal. Additionally, we strive to foster a deep and respectful understanding of the history of the American Indian, with a particular focus on Native American communities native to New York State. We actively promote the utilization of established archaeological research methodologies and aim to disseminate the findings of our members' fieldwork and related topics through published papers. Moreover, we are committed to advocating for legislation that supports anthropological, archaeological, and historical endeavors, furthering our dedication to these important pursuits.
